Resources & Tools

  • Conflict, Identity, and Reform in the Muslim World highlights the challenges that escalating identity conflicts within Muslim-majority states pose for both the Muslim world and for the West, an issue that has received scant attention in policy and academic circles.  

  • An online toolkit for peacemakers, negotiators, and other conflict management practitioners.

  • The fragility of the Chadian government, as well as the fragmentation among Chadian civil society, political parties, and rebel movements, poses significant challenges that Chadian civil society, regional governments, African institutions and the international community must address with a coordinated strategy. Although the situation in the country is often examined through the lens of the Darfur crisis, several internal factors drive the instability in Chad and its regional actions.

Dorina A. Bekoe is a senior research associate in the Center for Conflict Analysis and Prevention, where she specializes in African conflicts, political development, institutional reform and peace agreement implementation. She manages a project on political transition in Africa that includes work on electoral violence, Nigeria and Côte d’Ivoire and organizes working groups on Liberia, Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan. Her previous research focused on the incentives for warring parties to comply with peace agreements, the New Partnership for Africa’s Development and its related African Peer Review Mechanism, and the regionalization of conflict in Africa.

Bekoe holds a B.A. in economics from Franklin and Marshall College, an M.S. in public policy from Carnegie Mellon University and a Ph.D. in public policy from Harvard University.
